Marvel Snap, Second Dinner's popular card battler, is back online in the United States after a tumultuous period linked to the TikTok ban affecting its publisher, ByteDance. The abrupt service interruption, complete with a "banned" warning, reportedly took Second Dinner by surprise.
This unexpected disruption has led Second Dinner to announce it's actively searching for a new publisher. This is a significant blow to Nuverse, the ByteDance subsidiary that published the successful game, which launched to critical acclaim in 2022, blending iconic Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles.
Second Dinner's frustration is understandable, given the player backlash over lost login rewards and disrupted gameplay following the unexpected shutdown. The decision to seek a new publisher underscores the depth of this behind-the-scenes conflict.
Finding a new publishing partner could take months, or even years. The immediate priority is preventing a recurrence of this incident.
